GOLD SHIPMENT FORFEITED AFTER NCA LINKS IT TO DRUG CARTELS

On 21 March, a news release from the NCA advised that the NCA had obtained a civil recovery order for gold worth an estimated £4 million that was being laundered by South American drug cartels.  The shipment of gold weighing 104 kg was seized at Heathrow in June 2019.  It was being transported from the Cayman Islands to Switzerland via Heathrow, having earlier been shipped to the Caymans on a private jet which had arrived from Venezuela.
